It is called searching but many times what
happens is it is a form of navigation - a goto
in the text buffer, if you will.

Because I do this all the time, like one of the
most common ways to position point, I get
totally stressed out by the default
"incremental" search.

Here is some code if anyone else is like me and
hasn't got his own file already
